Import the package on another WordPress site and it becomes an exact copy. If the address changes, every link, image and path is updated automatically, including serialized data and page-builder (Elementor, JSON) data.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Full site export into one .fhsc package (up to 2 GB)<\/li>\n<li>Import on a fresh WordPress install on any server<\/li>\n<li>New domain, subdomain, subfolder, http &gt; https, and table-prefix changes handled automatically<\/li>\n<li>Optional test copy mode (no emails, no cron, hidden from search engines)<\/li>\n<li>System check before export and import: green = OK, yellow = warning, red = must fix (installation stays locked)<\/li>\n<li>Works in small steps, so short PHP time limits and small upload limits are no problem<\/li>\n<li>Continues where it stopped if the page is closed or the connection drops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Safety<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Export only reads the site - nothing is changed.<\/li>\n<li>The package is verified before import; damaged or incomplete packages are rejected.<\/li>\n<li>The database is imported into a temporary copy. The site keeps using its own database until the very last step.<\/li>\n<li>Every file that is replaced is backed up first.<\/li>\n<li>The switch to the new database is one single all-or-nothing step. The old database is renamed, not deleted.<\/li>\n<li>If anything fails, \"Undo everything\" puts every file back and deletes the temporary copy.<\/li>\n<li>wp-config.php, .htaccess and WordPress core files are never changed.<\/li>\n<li>Optional safe mode: when you turn it on, other plugins and the theme are not loaded during the plugin's own requests, so they can't interrupt a clone. It adds one small file to wp-content\/mu-plugins only after you click \"Turn on safe mode\", and removes it when you turn it off or deactivate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>After an import you log in with a username and password from the old site. The plugin never logs anyone in by itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin does not connect to any external service. Export, import and all checks run on your own server. Packages are only sent where you take them (download and upload in your browser).<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/ or install the zip in Plugins &gt; Add New &gt; Upload Plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Activate it.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Tools &gt; Site Clone Pro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Full guide with screenshots: <a href=\"https:\/\/fixelhub.com\/site-clone-pro\/\">fixelhub.com\/site-clone-pro<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"where%20can%20i%20get%20help%3F\"><h3>Where can I get help?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>See the guide and FAQ on <a href=\"https:\/\/fixelhub.com\/site-clone-pro\/\">fixelhub.com\/site-clone-pro<\/a>, or ask in the plugin's support forum here on WordPress.org.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"where%20are%20packages%20stored%3F\"><h3>Where are packages stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>In wp-content\/uploads\/fixelhub-site-clone-pro\/, inside a folder with a random name.
